Does anybody know how to filter data in the
comments/memo/whatever-it's-called field in Outlook contact data during a
mail merge (creating labels)? The problem I'm finding is that this field
doesn't seem to have a name. I'm talking about the big "whiteboard" box that
you can copy & paste all sorts of various stuff into.

I can find records that contain certain data in that field by doing a simple
"Find" in Outlook but if I try to do a mail merge from Word I don't seem to
be able to filter by data in that field. I don't see it in the list of
fields and it doesn't appear to have a name in the contact details screen.

What I like to do is put a simple code like 20070912-promo001 in that field
so that I A) have a way of creating a label to send a certain promotion to
that person on a certain date, and B) always have a record in their contact
data showing which promos I have sent them and when. I am trying to see if
there is a way to do this from Word rather than initiating the merge from
Outlook.

Thanks for any info,
